Quarteira will be the place to be for lovers of octopus dishes as the coastal town prepares to host the ‘Semana do Polvo’ (Octopus Week) between this Saturday (September 30) and October 8.

Nearly 30 eateries will be preparing their own special dish for the event, including favourites like ‘Arroz de Polvo’ (octopus rice), ‘Polvo à Lagareiro’ (Lagareiro-style octopus) and ‘Cataplana de Polvo’ (a delicious stew cooked in a clam-shaped pot).

A menu, also including dessert and an espresso coffee, costs around €15.

There will also be an octopus recipe competition, as well as several workshops and ‘showcooking’ events.
